Help on Call

Bob and JR:

I think I know my NCAA Rules pretty well, but I do not remember seeing where this is a blocking foul on B2. The definitions for guarding, screening, block, charge, and legal positions on the floor are the same in both the NFHS and NCAA rule books. Please help me out here. I am at our son's first H.S. swim meet of the season and I do not have my rules books with me. Thanks.

Mark,
When I get home to my books I will find it for you but I remember reading that this is a blocking foul in NCAA. The reasoning is that lying on the floor is not a legal guarding position, and frankly, I think the Fed ruling should be the same. Calling a guy for traveling because he trips over someone on the floor is a pretty crappy call.

Legal guarding position isn't required when you're stationary. I think the reasoning had to do with normal standing position, but I'm not sure. If it was LGP, then that's a pretty crappy reasoning.

Guarding: B1 slips to the floor in the free-throw lane. A1 (with his or her back to prone B1) receives a pass, turns and, in his or her attempt to drive to the basket, trips and falls over B1. RULING: Foulon B1, who has taken an illegal defensive position (NCAA memorandum January 23, 1996, page 3).

That is what became 4-33-4a AR 91 in the new NCAA casebook with a tiny wording change.
